Hi all,
Name is Bob, located in Northern California. Have been into hot rods, muscle cars, and track cars for 40 years. Current ride weighs 1790 #, is a 1923 Ford Track-T, powered by a purpose built 383 sbc stroker, built for as much torque, as low in the rpm band as possible, 516 lb/ft @ 2800. Of course had to give up a lot of hp for that number, only 320 hp @ 4050. Last dyno pull, tech asked me if it was a rock crawler motor. Tremec TKO 600 and Jag IRS 3.54 with 31" rear tires. 0.64 OD, so 73 mph is 1750 rpms. Turned a 10.8 @ 132 at Sacramento Raceway 3 years ago with the previous 355 circle track engine, now only 11.4. Will pull 1.04G's in corners. I use the latest G-Tech.
I am here to learn about the GT40. I had joined 2 Cobra forums but as much as I like Cobras, they are an open roadster like my Track-T and 400~650 lbs heavier. I have noticed some of the GT40s are lighter than the Cobra, with heat/AC and doors. Yes, I don't have doors on my ride, but will be keeping it even after a GT40 purchase because it is the most fun ride I have ever had. If anyone is interested I can post a video of this ride in action, but will wait for awhile. The video raised a stink on the HAMB, and other forums except my forum and the 2 Cobra forums. I hang with the T-bucket group with this car, and they have a hard time understanding the handleing difference of the purpose built low CG Track-T and their rides.
